Example Ell: To a 0 "per cent; solution of forn'izilclehycle is added a concentrated solution of gllfiiflCOl-ELIDXUOHlUBl, and the solution cooled externally, required. The further treatment is as in Example I.

Elie. new compound is suitable for lsheraooulie purposes, especially as a remerly for pulmonary consumption anal as an antisepiic for ihc intestine, in It has the advantage over gusizicol in that it will not. liqucfy at temperature below 80 (5., and is therefore easier lo handle. Further, "the hem:inethvionc-i-ctrzunin contained in the compound has antiseptic properties and will therefore assist the gumacol conmined in the compound.
